The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future was very important. If the first impression was not good, it would be very troublesome in the future.

Not a single trace of panic could be seen on her face, including the company’s decisions and the International Fragrance Competition. Instead, she was so nervous when she heard that she was going to see her mother this afternoon.

A gentle expression appeared on Wen Xin’s face. “You don’t have to think too much.”

Shen Fanxing said anxiously, “Just tell me quickly so that I can prepare myself and leave a good impression on her.”

Bo Jinchuan stared at her anxious expression, his eyes sparkling.

“Do you know what efficiency is?”

After waiting for a long time, Shen Fanxing received Bo Jinchuan’s nonchalant reply.

However, he didn’t seem like the kind of person who didn’t understand the question and didn’t answer it.

After some thought, she replied seriously, “I know. It refers to the actual amount of work completed in a unit of time. Being efficient means that there is a lot of work completed in a unit of time. To an individual, it means that they have saved time.”

Bo Jinchuan smiled and said, “So don’t worry about this. Firstly, it’s a waste of time. Secondly… no matter how much you prepare, you won’t have the chance to perform when the time comes.”

Shen Fanxing pursed her red lips. God knew what he was talking about!

After talking for a long time, she only knew how to be efficient. She didn’t have the chance to show off.

Shen Fanxing wondered if her IQ had dropped.

“Alright, let’s sleep for a while. Weren’t you sleepy outside just now?”

Bo Jinchuan caressed her head and planted a light kiss on her forehead.

Shen Fanxing closed her eyes and accepted his gentleness.

Just then, Bo Jinchuan’s phone rang.

Picking up the phone, Shen Fanxing leaned into his embrace. It was obvious that she had seen his caller ID.

—Yuan Sichun.

It was quite standard.

She answered the call calmly with her usual coldness.

“Yeah.”

“Brother Bo.” Yuan Sichun’s elegant voice sounded from the phone. “My friends are holding a welcome party for me tonight. Are you coming?”

Before Bo Jinchuan could answer, Yuan Sichun added, “Bring… Sister-in-law along. We can take this opportunity to have a gathering so that she can recognize us.”

There were only the two of them in the bedroom. It was so quiet that Yuan Sichun’s voice could be heard clearly through the receiver.

Bo Jinchuan didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Shen Fanxing.

His intention was obvious.

Shen Fanxing nodded matter-of-factly.

Bo Jinchuan replied, “Got it.”

Yuan Sichun smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll send you the address later. Oh, tell Sister-in-law not to mind too much. It’s just an ordinary gathering for friends.”

“Yeah.”

Then, she hung up.

Shen Fanxing looked up at him and smiled. “You don’t have to mind.”

Bo Jinchuan said calmly,

“She’s a woman.”

Shen Fanxing’s heart skipped a beat. “It seems too magnanimous of me to say that she’s your friend, right?”

“Yes, don’t be magnanimous.”

Shen Fanxing smiled, touched by his sincerity and calmness. She buried her face in his embrace.

Waves of bitterness surged in her heart, not because of sadness or sadness.

She was only touched by the feelings she had.

What did she do to deserve Bo Jinchuan’s pure affection?

Yuan Sichun hung up the phone and Qi Mingchu, who was sitting opposite her, smiled at her. “Look at how nervous you were just now. No matter what, you’re childhood sweethearts. We haven’t seen each other for a few years. How can he not attend a welcome party?”

Yuan Sichun smiled bitterly and shook her head. “Who knows? He’s not alone now. He’s smart and self-disciplined. How can he allow himself to be so close to other women? Didn’t you see how he protected that woman yesterday? We grew up with him. Have you seen how careful he is to protect others? Moreover… she’s a woman…”

As she spoke, Bo Jinchuan’s face appeared in her mind. She felt a lump in her throat and her beautiful face was filled with sorrow.

Qi Mingchu looked at her solemnly, not knowing how to comfort her.

No one could change Bo Jinchuan’s decision!

Even the ancient kings had a reason to obey the wise king.

When it came to him, there was no room to change his mind.

This was the most frustrating thing.

He was like that. Even if she stood beside him and looked like she was only a step away, it was difficult to get close to him.

Unable to approach!

He was an impeccable person. There were no loopholes for others to exploit.

Who would have thought that such a heartless and cold person would really lower himself to protect a woman?

Yuan Sichun was on the verge of a breakdown. However, she only stretched out her hands and placed them on the coffee table to cover her eyes. She didn’t make any sorrowful sounds. Her slender shoulders trembled slightly.

In all these years, he had never seen her like this.

Qi Mingchu pursed his lips tightly, but his face was dark and cold.

“Qi Mingchu, do you think that woman… is really worthy of Brother Bo?”

Yuan Sichun suddenly raised her head. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears and her eyes were red. Qi Mingchu’s heart skipped a beat.

“… I’m not worthy.”

Yuan Sichun suddenly smiled sadly and said, “That’s right. She’s just a perfume designer. She doesn’t have a good family background, and her family is filled with people who can’t even be compared to her. In the end, she even messed them up… What do you think Brother Bo is thinking? Why are there so many princes and Cinderella in this world? Don’t they all appear in fairy tales? Prince and Cinderella? Ha, don’t you think it’s funny? Qi Mingchu?”

“Sichun…”

Qi Mingchu looked at Yuan Sichun’s teary eyes and his heart ached.

In his eyes, Yuan Sichun was like Bo Jinchuan, unattainable.

Her fingers on the table twitched slightly. After some hesitation, she finally mustered the courage to wipe Yuan Sichun’s tears.

However, Yuan Sichun suddenly straightened her body and took a deep breath. She pressed the corners of her eyes and said in a hoarse voice,

“Sorry, I lost my composure just now.”

Qi Mingchu’s hand froze before he took a sip of the coffee.

Not long after, the doorbell rang. Yuan Sichun smiled and waved at the slender but well-dressed woman.
